Yes thanks Cumbria . It was DH's birthday yesterday and today's been food shopping and full on housework, so no time to update my diary. I need to cook now!

I'll give a full report as soon as I can .

As long as all ok, thought the travel may have wiped you out. I bet you have been busy , you will have been missed.

Glad you're home safe and sound, if tired. We missed you.


I hope you enjoy your Saturday Saunter if you still plan to go:beer:. Maybe the heat and the fact that you've just been away from home for a whole week means you'd prefer to have a day at home tomorrow instead.


I picked up 3 enticing bargain books this week:j and came home really excited to get stuck into the first one but this hot weather doesn't agree with me and I feel permanently zonked out:o. Not like me at all, I'm nodding off in the recliner in the middle of the day and then managing a full night's sleep as well.

Thanks both . What books did you get Carboot? My dad gave me three Hammond Innes books which I will enjoy.

I had a really lovely week with my dad and stepmum . We went to two very interesting and beautiful NT places, met my stepsister for lunch in a nearby olde worlde town, had a family picnic and went to a lavender farm. It was really good to spend some quality time with them. I had a very relaxing time and the change of scene did me good :T. But I missed DH and the DC so I was pleased to come home.

Yesterday it was DH's birthday so we went out and DH spent his birthday money plus we had lunch in a cafe. Then DH relaxed in front of the telly while I cleaned out the furry moron and finished unpacking. Then in the evening we had an Indian takeaway. Very indulgent . DH said it was the best birthday he's had in ages :T.

Today we had to do the weekly food shop I normally do on a Wednesday and I did a ton of other housework :eek:. I'm feeling hot and tired now. Hot weather is okay when you're on holiday but not so great for doing housework and working in a hot office :eek:. We ordered another fan for the office today as one isn't enough, we need one each to stay cool!

In other news DS2 is going to Spain for two months on Sunday, I'm really going to miss him but I'm pleased for him to have an adventure :T. Very mixed feelings .

I love reading your diary hairy hand but get fed up with having to explain to the family why I'm laughing. Sorry but 'furry moron always gets me.:rotfl:

I'm glad you had a nice time on you trip. A lavender farm sounds lovely.

Sounds like lovely family time , and a good rest for you. Am with you on the hot weather HH.

Hope DS2 gets off to Spain ok , it wasn't him that lost his boarding card was it ?

It's good to have you back.

It was DS3 that lost his boarding pass, DS2 has been remarkably efficient so far (mind you he may not tell me everything :think:).
